I am thinking of ordering a modern (fairly recent) pachinko machine as my very first pachinko but I'm having a tough time deciding. There are many that look interesting from a static photo, but I don't know if there are specific things to look for that make one model better or more fun than another.

Are certain brands or manufacturers better than others? Anything to avoid? Anything with better animatronics or video quality? Or just more detailed than others?

Is there any machine that is the absolute best or objectively better?

I like the idea of getting a similarly themed pachislo as well and was looking at Magical Halloween, Tekken, Dead or Alive Xtreme, Danganronpa, Girls und Panzer and Urusei Yatsura. Other machines that looked interesting are Namcot collection (or 2) and quite a few others.

The choice is overwhelming and I welcome any suggestions on how to narrow it down a bit.
